Nothing good about this, but what goes through a preacher's mind when he behaves in such a way is beyond demonic. When the Apostolic church goes away from her spiritual roots and drowns herself in the academic, she becomes not only fruitless, but spiritually psychotic.

It is like a virus, which incubates within its host victim. The preacher (or saint) stops praying, stops true worship, and ends up no longer believing in demons, angels, anything spiritual. They end up worse than they were when they first found God. It doesn't happen overnight, it takes time, because their situation is putting down deep roots. These roots are not only hard to remove, but so deep within the soul that the individual couldn't escape even if he wanted.
I mean, is this going to be another edition of "Bail Jumpers USA"?

You are right though about the note on the jacket. This is not going to end well.

It can't end well.

It is so messed up on so many levels.

Discernment isn't suspicion. Discernment is being able to actually see what is going on spiritually in a congregation. This is usually mocked, and ridiculed by the the crowd who no longer believe God will show you anything. That means shows you what is happening with other people. Why? Because a lot of individuals have mimicked spiritual discernment, with cold reading, warm reading, and hot reading. Tools used by charlatans. So, just because you have some hoaxers, people tend to throw the baby out with the bath water.

As time goes by and Pentecost becomes less and less spiritual, and more and more liturgical. You will hear more horror stories.
